Kilometers per kilowatt-hour to miles per kilowatt-hour Converter
Enter the kilometers per kilowatt-hour, then press Calculate. The miles per kilowatt-hour stay hidden while you type.
Press Calculate after the entries are in.
What this electric car efficiency conversion is for
Use this page when a measurement is written in kilometers per kilowatt-hour and the next step needs miles per kilowatt-hour. The number stays blank until you press Calculate, so a half-typed entry is never mistaken for the answer.
The factor
Electric economy flips the same way fuel economy does. kWh/100 km = 100 ÷ km per kWh. Miles per kWh = km per kWh ÷ 1.609344. MPGe uses the EPA gasoline equivalent of 33.7 kWh per gallon, so MPGe = 33.7 × miles per kWh.
A worked example
4 kilometers per kilowatt-hour are 2.48548476 miles per kilowatt-hour. Multiply the result by the reverse factor if you want the original number back.
How to check it
Write the factor down, do the multiply on paper, and compare it with the result card. If you change a sentence on this page, edit the HTML file and reload. The form and this note live in the same file.
The reverse conversion is miles per kilowatt-hour to kilometers per kilowatt-hour. A nearby pair in the same units is miles per gallon equivalent to miles per kilowatt-hour. When the converted number is the input to a job, continue with the gas versus electric cost.
